The cyclist was taken by helicopter to Derriford Hospital where he remains in a serious condition.
Officers are tring to discover how the man, who is believed to have been riding alone, came to be injured and have asked anyone who saw him cycling in the area to get in touch.
He was wearing an orange jacket, black cycling shorts and a red and white helmet and was riding a white Dawes road bike.
Anyone who has information is requested to call police on 101 or by email on 101 [at] devonandcornwall.pnn.police.uk quoting log number 635 of 26/08/15.

ICE contacts on my phone and fly6 in case my downfall is tinbox muppet related. Hope he gets better and they figure out what happened.
